Hi Everyone,
I have two questions and was wondering if anyone could give me feedback on them. I've already submitted but I need to discuss this with others to think this through.
As I've mentioned, I recently submitted my dental school application. Under "Professional Experience- Dentistry/Shadowing Experience" I added three of the dentistry related experience that I already completed and added another that I will begin at the end of July 2013.
The entry I am concerned about basically looks like this:
Name of Supervisor: TBD
Position Title: Student Intern
Brief Description: Will volunteer as an intern at the Forsyth Institute Clinic. Will shadowed periodontist and will help in the clinical research related tasks.
Hours: 0
Position Type: Volunteer, Job Shadowing
Start Date: July 2013
End Date: (blank because I am still doing it)
Question 1: Is the zero hours viewed negatively, since I have not completed it (and added it on my application anyways)? I really regret putting down TBD but the office was so slow about getting back to me I totally forgot to update this part. What are your thoughts?
Question 2: I accidentally flagged this for my holistic cover sheet and it explicitly states 0 hours instead of flagging the three experiences that I have already done. Will this look negative on my application for the cover sheet as well?
For example:
1) Dentist (46 hours) ---flagged for cover sheet
2) Orthodontist (46 hours) ---flagged for cover sheet
3) Dental students at college university (20 hours)
4) Periodontist/Clinical Research (0 hours) ---flagged for cover sheet
and didn't realize that I "flagged" (4) and not (3).
Thanks you all in advance. I appreciate any and all feedback.
Sandy
